3-star recruits can't be 'key recruits' anymore. We've lost literally every single bit of momentum from the SEC move. We're right back to classes full of leftovers in Texas and 3-star recruits.

Nicely done, fellas. Really nicely !@#$ing done. And hey, lets see if you can wait 3 or 4 months before hiring an OC, because that's going to also help matters a great deal.

I don't even like opening this thread anymore.

DJ -

I wasn't saying those guys are key recruits (just DL depth, really, though Mixon has some good offers).

I was saying that I added/updated the key recruits section of the OP. And, actually, the guys added are all pretty big-time: Johnson and Bradley (4-star DTs with SEC offers from all over), a 4-star WR from Louisville, and OT Dan Skipper (who is a three-star but had offers from Tennessee and some other notable programs).

I'll also point out that Mixon is ranked No. 15 at his position nationally by Rivals, was being heavily pursued by Oklahoma as little as two weeks ago, and likely ends up in the Texas top 50. He's also the highest-ranked non-4 star at his position.

He's right tho, MU will regret their move to the SEC. Not sure when since it will be hard to ever admit it, given all their love and loyalty they've already dropped at their new masters' doorsteps. But it likely shows up at the box office first with low attendance

I was wondering about that. I remember reading an update from the last week of November about him having Oklahoma No. 1, and it sounded like an offer was there (even though it doesn't list one now).

If its something he did, its quiet. Think OU got in on some players they didnt previously have a shot at. OU is up against the cap in scholly's, wont oversign, but will lose guys to attrition in the offseason.

With the lack of depth on roster, and in recruiting ,that OU has on both lines, its a surprise. The lines are becoming a problem at OU, area SEC keeps dominating and will win championships until its corrected.

They can always chant.... but SEC has better coaching and line play.... give the top SEC coaches a month to prepare, they will win. Playoffs will change that some, but those 2 things, make the SEC what they are.

Regret being secure when it's clear the realignment wheels are going to keep spinning? No. Not going to happen. Regret the fanbase's level of commitment, which has led to the highest attendance levels in recent history, huge financial commitments, planned football expansion, expanded potential recruiting territory? Regret the increase in dollars to come with the SEC Network? Regret the increased profile and the improved ability to hire a top-notch coach when Pinkel is gone?

Somehow I doubt it.

As for attendance, here's fun object for you: Missouri's attendance for the last two games of the season - mighty Syracuse and mighty Kentucky - averaged more than 65k fans. For late season games, after the season had gone to shit.

Shut the **** up, Dickedson. We all know you're just parked behind an IP scrambler or something.

If you keep pushing your luck, we'll just have you banned on general principal.

No, Mizzou will never regret moving to the best conference in the country. It's not even a close call. They'll make more money and earn more prestige.

But they have to actually perform. Their recent history has shown that they're capable of it, but they've now made it more difficult for themselves.

When the MU fans are interested in the brainless ramblings of a Beaker homer, they'll be sure to let you know.
